Editorial Notice

No US Governance Story Found in Provided Source Material

All five submitted sources cover sports, entertainment, local municipal policy, and media commentary, none of which fall within the publication's defined editorial scope of US federal governance.

The Congressional Times · August 15, 2026

The Congressional Times editorial scope is strictly limited to US federal politics, US Congress, US legislation, US federal agencies, US courts, US campaign finance, US lobbying, the White House, US elections, and US economic policy at the federal level. None of the five source items provided on August 15, 2026 meet that threshold.

Source one covers a Major League Baseball debut by St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Joshua Baez, a sports topic explicitly outside scope. Source two covers NFL player Travis Kelce and his personal life, also a sports and entertainment topic outside scope. Source three covers a private-sector study on state-level medical malpractice payment data compiled by High Rise Financial, a non-federal civil litigation matter with no identified federal legislative or regulatory component in the provided excerpt.

Source four covers commentary by Washington Examiner columnist Tiana Lowe Doescher on Fox News, characterizing progressive Democratic policy positions. The excerpt contains no verifiable federal legislative record, FEC filing, congressional vote, or agency action that could be sourced per editorial standards. Source five covers New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's municipal parking and waste container proposal, a local government matter with no identified federal nexus in the provided excerpt.

A publishable story under these editorial rules requires at least one anchor fact tied to a specific public federal record: a court filing, LDA lobbying disclosure, FEC filing, USASpending contract entry, congressional record vote, or verified federal agency action. None of the five sources provide that anchor. What public record would change this determination: a congressional hearing transcript, a federal agency rulemaking notice, or a campaign finance filing connected to any of the individuals or policies named above.

We Follow the Data, Not the Narrative

The Congressional Times exists because public records are public — and the analysis built from them should not be exclusive to those who can afford $60,000-a-year intelligence subscriptions.

Every story published in The Congressional Times is sourced to a verifiable public record: a court filing, a Senate lobbying disclosure, an FEC contribution record, a USASpending contract, or a verified news report. We state our sources inline. We show our math. When we are wrong, we say so publicly.

We do not editorialize in news coverage. We do not use loaded language. Both political parties are held to identical standards.

The Follow the Money investigations are the heart of this publication. Each begins with Gab-E Political Intelligence running against 10+ million government records before a single word of editorial is written.

How We Source, Verify, and Correct Our Work

Every factual claim in a Congressional Times story is checked against a primary source: a government filing, a court record, a direct quote, before publication. When a claim can't be verified or doesn't hold up as originally reported, we drop it or reframe it. We do not publish disputed claims as settled fact.

When we get it wrong: we correct the story directly, note the correction and date at the bottom of the piece, and update the record. We do not quietly edit and move on.

Bylines: stories with a named byline are written and fact-checked by that person. Stories without a byline are sourced from Gab-E Political Intelligence, our automated research platform, and are labeled as such.

Ownership: The Congressional Times is published by Gab-E Holdings LLC. Gab-E, our intelligence platform, powers our sourcing and research pipeline.
